Give Yamiks an Alpha key!

You are more than likely right but had Fdev just been honest and open in the first place and told Yamiks why he was not getting a key (as I now see they have from the update) then much of this could have been avoided imho.
In case people are confused about how any of this works: Yamik earns his money by being outraged, creating drama and being insulting to people 'in a funny way'. You honestly belief that if FD told him from the start they thought he was a toxic dingleberry he would just say:"Ok." and not make a big deal out of it? :)
 
Ever noticed how most elections are very even? The thin line between being rude or not is not well defined and it changes over time. The line is where there is something close to a 50/50 consensus and the line is fuzzy. Depending on who you are, you have different limits. That someone gets offended does not, strictly speaking, make them right, but this is probably not about Fdev being offended over the profanity, as much as it seems like somebody having a sore toe, when it comes to the management and strategy of the company. I think we should all get along and be nice, but that includes being able to take critique and accept a few hiccups from everybody else.

Go watch Yamiks Hyper Critical Review of ED. I bet you haven't done that yet. Maybe skip the opening scene where he beats a dead horse in an attempt to be inventive ;) Next in the video, is a beautiful (long) montage of the Milky Way we all love. He does wiggle his joystick along the way, but ask yourself if it really hurts you, or whether you actually get offended on somebody else's behalf.
Its not about me being offended. I don't like his sense of humor - it's just obnoxious, childish and boring, but I was telling you why Frontier - a company - might not want to support a person creating such content. And I was proven right few minutes after my last post, which was fun.
 
And why is that a problem anyway?

Because of the public perception of Yammiks' analysis.

People say he loves the game really but that's not how he gains most of his clicks I think. This storm is not about EDO content, none of us know that yet. It's about whether or not people will treat the Devs with respect when the alpha drops and I for one don't think Yammiks would give them (enough) credit on a human level, in between his sarcastic comments for views. This is just them telling him to sit down .. and personally I'm with them showing their humanity and letting people know who's baby it actually is.
 
I wouldn't live in that fear myself. I tell them exactly what I think of them, they would have no qualms in telling me about myself.

I have a running joke about not getting a new job because I cant be bothered to train a new manager.

I have a running joke.

It's called my pay packet.

WAH-HEY!

In all seriousness though - integrity doesn't put food in my kid's stomachs....
 
that's bad enough as it is. if the guy is 1/5 of the scene there simply wasn't a good way of not supporting him, he is too popular to ignore, that's how the influence game works. 🤷‍♂️
This 1/5 of the player base is spurious at best.

Are you honestly suggesting that all 100k of his subscribers are in the current 500k monthly players? And that all 100k support his view on this salty rant?
 
I can't believe they even tried to say the keys are limited though.

Given he can just buy one, its not like they're blocking his account.. so its pretty funny. All this fuss because someone in frontier marketing has their knickers in a knot inside their own head. Frontier just lost a whole bunch of credibility on their marketing side as well. We can see what's going on.. anyone with a free key is now suspect of at least whitewashing any problems.

They might be limited to the people who sent out the email.

Upper management said "Ok, you can give away X number of copies for review purposes, make sure that X, Y, Z gets a copy, oh, and don't give a copy to Yamiks" :D
 
This bit I liked :

When they say causing upset, they mean to Frontier themselves. Because clearly nobody else is the target in Yamiks' "comic" diatribes.

i wasn't suggesting anything of the sorts. the 1/5 figure had been floated around before in this thread, and i reused it merely to express that yamiks is a significant member of "the community of elite tubers" (to the extent we can accept that such a construct actually exists, but if it did he no doubt would be in).
 
Neither, it makes me cringe so hard I actually want to die.
Just an advice that you can disregard as you please, but cringe is related to pride, which mostly makes zero sense, once you start poking it with a stick. The World becomes a much more pleasant place when you learn how to accept the other monkeys for what they are, even though it's a hard one to swallow at first.
 
Can't he just buy one, it's about 30 quid.
Indeed..I am tired of the entitled attitude of YouTubers.who think games.companies owe them free games
Besides how can you trust the integrity of a streamer when they don't have skin in the game.

Hell a that aside if ED was.my game I would not give him a key...this isn't personal against him but if he wants it he should cough up like the rest of us.
